The journal maintains a strict stance against plagiarism in all its forms. Submitted manuscripts must be entirely original, and any use of others’ work, ideas, or wording must be properly cited and referenced.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, direct copying, paraphrasing without attribution, self-plagiarism, and the use of data or images without permission. The manuscript is checked using anti-plagiarism software provided by the DOI provider. If these criteria are not met, the article may be rejected without being sent for review. If plagiarism is identified during review or after publication, the journal will follow the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which may result in rejection, correction, or retraction of the work.
Authors are encouraged to consult best practices from COPE (https://publicationethics.org/) to ensure ethical writing and proper attribution.
